New Talent

As mentioned previously, one of the perks of my new job is getting to meet creative minds and be introduced to new talent.
One designer I've come across is Derek Lawlor, a knitwear specialist who hand makes his garments using an innovative technique of weaving cord of different thickness and textures in a monochromatic colour scheme. His pieces are definitely a bit dark and gothic in their strong silhouette but they are also strangely romantic, soft and fragile. They're the kind of pieces which you can't adequately describe in words because they don't fit in with any conventional labels of 'top', 'skirt', 'dress'. They're almost like sculptures. See for yourself.
